Moylan's Brewing Company's Kilt Lifter

Pours a deep orangish amber, and pours very slowly in a way that implies a big body. Big rocky head stays for a long time.

Huge floral hops thrown off as the head dissipates, and if you get closer you can smell a slightly sweet malt.

Big. I'm starting to really like this style, and this is a very good one. Solid in both bitterness and bready malt, it's a big beer that is essentially like a much less hoppy barley wine. I can only remember having two others of this type, and liked them both. So I'll move it right up under stouts as my favorite type.

Belhaven Brewery's Wee Heavy

I've been avoiding this one after the first two Belhaven beers I tried, but their Twisted Thistle and Scottish Stout were good so I decided to come back to them.

Pours like a bock. Deep almost opaque copper with a light and fizzy tan head that quickly fades and huge carbonation. Smells malty, like a bock too.

I like it. Very low bitterness that is more of an aftertaste than anything else. It's not a sexy beer. No huge flavor or bitterness, but a solid, malty beer that is an ale version of a bock.

Not a whole lot to say about it. Good, solid beer. I'd even rather have it than many bocks.
